LS/turbo with the GSR tranny. Don't boost a stock LS/VTEC and expect it to last for very long.

boost the ls and us the ls tranny because it has longer gears than the gsr does. if you use the gsr you will be going through gears like crazy

you are fucking stupid as shit. the key to a low boost ls/t is using a gsr tranny. now a b16 tranny or type R WOULD be too short of gears. I rode in a ls/t with a b16 tranny and with the lower redline he was out of gear at 105-110, but the gsr tranny works real well.
